Prologue - The life I had Before

Do you know what it is like to die? I didn't until recently. I was your average person, living life the way anyone would.  I would wake up to the sound of my alarm clock and try to get up. mot of the time it would work and i'd get showered, dressed, and ready to walk out of my small apartment. Then i'd sit down whether it be at home or at some coffee shop for breakfast. After that i'd head over to my office. 

I work for a small company working 5 to 6 days a week and getting paid at the end of every month. I earned a good 6 digest pay, so I wasn't struggling or anything. but it was hard work. I did any and all paperwork backup that is leftover from the late night workers. Its different papers each time and i'll spare you the details. Until around noon, I work hard. Then I head home for lunch, which is often small.After lunch I wait to be called in by my boss for extra work, while I study to get into collage. If there was work i'd work until it was done and then i'd get dinner. If not then I'd study until 6:00 and then have dinner. Then head to bed afterwards.

On my off days, I would enjoy a nice free day where I watch a kids show that i have come to enjoy. It is called My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. When there are new episodes i'd watch them. some episodes were good and others not so good in my opinion. But when  there was no new episode, i'd go to a website called Fimfiction.com and read fan made stories of fans, who take their works of art and post them for the whole world to see. Sadly I was not one of these people.. I just read the stories, when I could. From weekends to the occasional weekday, the weeks passed by. 

This routine has lasted for five years. there were road bumps along the way. I wont doubt that. In high school I worked a low wage restaurant job and while I can say that it helped me become social, I can also say that the bosses there were drunk, racist, sexiest, violent, and disrespectful until they got arrested for one thing or another. I mean one of them beat his girlfriend in the store right in front of two off duty cops. What an idiot. Another one got caught stealing money by a costumer. So long story short, I was glad to be out of there.

Now back in high school, I got pretty good grades. I got A's, B's, and every now and then a C. So my family rarely bothered me for that. In fact they almost always left me alone. My dad worked for some oil company and my mom worked on the computer for some company designing and creating what looked like basic programming. They were always doing something so I rarely interacted with them. This allowed me to become independent and I cant thank them enough for there support of my life choices. But it is probably that exact reason why am dead now.

Now I know what you are thinking. No I wasn't any sort of criminal of any guy hocked on drugs. I was raised with respect and kindness. I always paid my bills, paid attention when I drove, threw all of my trash away, and helped anyone I could. Hell, I almost never got mad, even then I would talk it out instead of getting violent. I was a saint to any religious people who got to know me. The only thing that got me killed was being alone and predictable. I'll tell you right now the only reason i'm dead is because I got home while the place was being robbed.

All week I had had been called back into work after lunch to do some extra work done. Day in and day out. More paperwork than we had had before. My boss told all of us that some event was going down on Monday and we had no time to slack. Each paper was different than the last, but every one of them needed to be filled, approved or disprove, and then copied. More that once, we ran out of paper and coffee for the employees. I was running to and throw, getting as much work done that I could.  Twice I had to bring lunch to work instead of going home. 

Everyone including the boss was so stressed that come Thursday, the boss actually bought lunch and breakfast for anyone who arrived early and staying for lunch. That day everyone was getting other peoples way and yet they were working better together than I have seen that office work together since i was hired. Imagine a stampeding hoard of elephants then add them protecting their young in the middle while doing that. That would be the most on point imaginary I can think of. In fact most of the stampeding was me running back and forth to place.  

I did so well that my boss came up to me Friday morning and right then and there gave me the day off. I was so shocked that I went right home, only to find my door open and people yelling inside. So the first thing I did was call the cops. Told them the situation and they told me to wait outside and to not confront them. What I didn't expect was for the robbers to come out, look at me, yell at me for being late, and then pull me inside.

It was then that I met the boss thief. He then proceeded to call the henchmen a moron, telling them that I was the owner of the apartment. Then we all heard police sirens and the boss looked at me, pulled out a hand gun, and the proceeded to shot me point blank in the head. his shot must have been wrong because, first i saw red clouding my vision, then I started loosing feeling to my body.
Everything had slowed down. I heard the cops busting in, the robbers panicking and yelling, gunshots and voices. All I could see was red. All I could feel was my nerves loosing feeling as the feeling travailed up my body. and the last thing I remember, is me wishing one cold and awful thing.

I said "I wish that this was not the end and I wish I had someone to love." and then a portal opening up and I saw a face that I never thought i'd see. It was a face I knew well, even though it currently showed fear, shock, and hatred, it was a face that brought me joy. Then I blacked out in front of the beautiful creature or pony that went by a name that would later haunt my dreams for a long time. This pony as your probably wondering was the majestic goddess of the night, Princess Luna.
